Since I'm known for devouring my food, it's no surprise that I didn't get a picture of the final product.

Perspective.

I think I need to step back and look at the bigger picture. I've got to stop dwelling on the things that I dwell on, and just move on. It's time. Wish me luck.

I came thissssssss close

to buying a jcrew belt on ebay but the boy convinced me otherwise :) and i'm glad!

meinmillions and I have a deal going on, NO shopping for the month of October,... but I've already got my eye on a few things (birthday, xmas... :) (investment pieces, I swear!) I also realize, the less fashion blogs I read, the less I want. Surprisingly, most of the sites that get me itching for new items are the "budget fashionistA" ones. I'm not hating, but the other day I realize I have 6 black blazers in my closet. One velvet, one striped velvet, one polyesterrr w/bows, one w/puffy shoulders AND bows, one looooose fitted and some other one lying around. Anyway, the point is-- I don't need all of 'em. I probably just need two, or maybe even one. The answer: EBAY!

I'm trying to stay on top of the job hunt but it's getting harder as each day passes. Indeed.com, monster.com, idealist.org, USAjobs.gov, craigslist.org,... the list goes Onnnn! What's a bachelor's degree worth these days? And, could I get my money back? I Kid:))

I made a video of tibby (the kitty) playing with a ball today and it just made me realize how much he has grown. There were moments when I thought he wouldn't make it (overdramatic, I know...) I never thought I woud have a pet, like really have a pet. He runs wicked fast and gets scared at the smallest things (a piece of paper falling...) He's becoming quite the little monster though, I'm going to have to get him a scratching post SOON. I'll also have to take him to the vet to get his shots. Oooh, I feel like a mom.

A new month, a new start

I have the best intentions to not spend any money on clothing this month. I will not spend any money on clothing this month. I have more than I need and hopefully this post will serve as a reminder because once I encounter a coupon, a sale, a clearance, all that's been said could easily go out the window. So lee, you can do it:)

I love lists.

• Find a job, any job.
• Clean my room
• Sort through my clothes, four piles: keep, alter, donate, ebay
• drink less soda
  

I<3home remedies!

Not only do home remedies save money but this toilet bowl cleaner i found is better than those harsh chemicals we flush away. This lemony paste will help to get rid of the yellow stains in your toilet bowl. Since lemons are acidic, it helps cut down on those stains.

2 tbspoon baking soda
1 tbspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice

It's kinda cool cause it fizzes too! I've just started using this but I'm happy to be putting my lemons to use.

His name is Tibby

My friend found a kitten stuck between the garages in her backyard. She doesn't have the time to take care of him so I said I would take him in. Isn't he adorable? He's only three weeks old and in good health. His meowing threw me off the first night, I thought I wasn't a good mother. Who would've thunk it, that I would one day raise a cat. On the downside, my mother claims she's allergic and that she has asthma so I'm not sure how long I could keep Tibby for.
